egg fights & another adventure in foreign driving

At Easter the Stepanian family traditionally has Egg Fights. It's a pretty big deal. Each person chooses what they think is the heartiest looking Easter egg and takes a turn to hit another person's egg. End to end. Last egg standing wins. Pretty simple.

I must say, the skills my dad has passed down have served me well. I was on vacation in the French Rivera when a 1980 Mini decided to hit my 2000 Opel. Like we were eggs or something.When this car

runs into

that car

who will win?

The really cute, little car was totalled. Screeching, crashing, clattering, etcetera. His brakes locked, hood flew up, tire was at an ungodly angle and .... I have a 2 inch scratch. Put your bets on the newer, bluer car. I've officially been in my first accident. No injuries. WHEW!

here we are!

in the end

I believe like a child that suffering will be healed and made up for, that all the humiliating absurdity of human contradictions will vanish like a pitiful mirage…that in the world’s finale at the moment of eternal harmony, something so precious will come to pass that it will suffice for all hearts, for the comforting of all resentments, for the atonement of all the crimes of humanity, for all the blood that they’ve shed; that it will make it not only possible to forgive but to justify what has happened. (Fyodor Dostoyevsky)
